one thing that i think sounds petty, but isn’t, concerning the reputation of britney spears post-conservatorship, is reevaluating the art she has produced and the talents she has always had. i don’t think people who never really appreciated her work before understand that britney spears’ legacy does not deserve to be “a beautiful woman abused and tortured by the media and culture of her time” as this flat, tragipornographic figure. we do that to enough women in history. britney spears is still alive. britney spears is still not even old! listen to her music. talk about her as an artist. stop reducing her to only her personal sufferings, which she never asked to be known for.

#text post #britney #britney spears #it's hard to explain this bc she was and still is of course a monumental popstar. so influential so impactful. unparalleled in her prime #but at the same time her music while being beloved was not 'respected'... it was lowbrow #it was easy to see the woman who made it as dumb and frivolous and disposable despite how much ppl consumed it #and still do!!! ppl reference britney's music and imagery across her discography all the time #but it's almost like ppl reference britney as if she's... spongebob. like a fictional thing that somebody made up.#when we do talk about her art #it feels like except from her dedicated fans she doesn't get due credit for her talents or ownership over her image #it's easy to degrade someone if you just see them as a stupid useless popstar who makes stupid useless pop music #anyway anyway anyway leave britney alone #but also do uphold her music and credit her as an artist pls. thank you.
